D. H. L A. Records Aid In Judging Herd Production Successful dairymen are gener ally those Who produce milk moot efficiently. A study and compari son of production costs, produc tion rates and value of products over oasts of any two enterprises will show which enterprise is the most efficiently operated. Dairy Herd Improvement Association testing gives each association mem ber a Chance to make just such a comparison both within his own iierd and between it and other herds and cows in the state and riation. Each association member is the owner of a D. H. I. A. Herd Book In Which the tester keeps a month ly and yearly record of: 1. Produc tion, 2. Value of product, 3. Feed cost. 4. Value of product above or below feed cost. This record is kc-pt both for the herd as a whole and for each individual cow for her lifetime. On each cow's page, in addition to the above informa tion. the tester keeps the coiw's name, registration or eartag num ber, dalte of birth, name and regis tration or eartag number of both sire and dam and a complete breeding and calving record. The 305 day, or first ten month, as well as the total production for each separate lactation is also shown. The 305 day lactation record is sent to tlhe Department of Agriculture where a compari son is made between it and the record of the cow's mother. By this dam and daughter comparison daky bulls are proven. Every D. H. I. A. member re ceives his monthly copy of the North Carolina Dairy Extension News in which results of Official and D. H. I. A. testing are given. Registered cows on Official Test making over 55 lbs. of fait in the preceding month are listed, by breed, under their owners name with their records. The D. H. I. A. section of this publication lists: breed, herd sire, percent of cows dry, average production of both milk and fat, feed cost per. lb. of fat, feed cost per. 100 pounds of milk. Every herd in every asso ciation is listed and averages for each association are given. Breed Associations, in their publicstions, also give production records of cows on Official Test in every section of the nation. The farmer on D. H. I. A. has at least three places where comparison of records will aid him in judging the efficiency of his herd and dairy operation. The D. H. I. A. member need go no further than Ms own Herd Book to compare the production and other records of his low pro ducers with those of his Mgh pro ducers. A glance will show Mm how much more profit the cow producing 8000 lbs. of milk has made over the cow producing 5000 lbs of ttviJk. Ask yourself the following questions about your cows and herd. To Which cow f: mily do your best or poorest cows belong? Are your heifers as good as their mothers? Is your herd sire raising or lowering pro duction. Can you afford to keep the lower producers and the poor herd sire? Did sickness or disease hurt a low cows production? Do your poor cows look like good cows? Do some of your cows get all of the hay and silage while others have to Stay out in the lot? Were your good cows grown out? Were all of your poor ones stunt ed when they were calves or heif ers? Answering these and other questions in the light of the infor mation in your D. H. I. A.

LONNIE SEABOLT, and wife, GLADYS SEABOLT, et als, Defendants. By vljtue of authority vested in me by judgment of the Superior Court of Cherokee County, N. C., in the above entitled cause, I will, on January 25. 1951, at 12:00 Noon at the Courthouse Door in Murphy, North Carolina, offer for 'stle to the highest bidder for cash the following described lands in Cherokee County, North Carolina, to wit: FIRST TRACT neimg ue NJE SEABOLT lands adjoining J. A. Shields, Ben Helton, Claud | Hayes, and Tom Curtis in District No. 4 and part of Tracts Nos. 2671 'and 2191. BEGINNING on a Hickory (fallen) and rock and runs West 60 poles to a White Oak j (fallen) and dogwood marked; | thence South 30 poles to a post; thence S 55 W to the top of the ' ridige; thence with the meanders' of the ridge to a Hickory (fallen), corner of No. 2191; thence with the line of said number N 57 W 32 poles to a rock and chestnut stump on a ridge; then with the meanders of said ridge to a Spanish Oak in I the line of No. 2671; thence South 70 poles to the beginning, con- J fanning 130 acres. SECOND TRACT: Being the' Book should enable you to im prove your whole dairy set up. Poor rows or sires will be culled. Replacements will come from your best cows and sires. Faults of feeding and management can also be more clearly seen and remedi ed. Further comparisons of herd and I cows can be made in both the I Dairy Extension News and in ] Breed Association publications. Produobion records of oows of the same breed will give an idea of whalt you should get from your cows. Production and feed cosit figures from herds all over the state will show what your herd is doing in comparison with Other herds. When another dairyman with your breed of oows is shown in the Extension news to have a monthly herd average of 690 lbs. of milk arid 38.4 lbs. of fat with feed oast per lb. of fat $0.42 and feed cost per 100 lbs. of milk $2.35; while your herd average is 360 lbs. of milk and 18.7 lbs. of fait with a feed cost of $0 80 for f?t and $3.00 for milk; what con clusion will you be led to form with regard to your whole dairy operation? You will undoubtab ly try to find Why this dairyman and others throughout the state are able to make cows produce more milk and fat for less cost than you have been able to do. The chances are that you will find ycur problem to be one of either breeding, feeding or management; and will take steps to better the situation. After you have solved many of the initial problems of your dairy operation through the use of bet ter practices you will observe that feed costs have been lowered and that both production and net pro I fit have risen. Very few dairy I men. even after only one year's 'testing, fail to show improvement i ir nearly every phase of dairying. As you continue to test your cows, year after year your pride in the high producing herd and profit able business you have built will emphasize the store of valuable ' irformation contained in your D.
